The Travel Assistance Committee is looking for people who would like to beable to attend ApacheCon US 2008 who need some financial support in order toget there. There are VERY few places available and the criteria is high,that aside applications are open to all open source developers who feel thattheir attendance would benefit themselves, their project(s), the ASF andopen source in general. Financial assistance is available for flights, accomodation and entrancefees either in full or in part, depending on circumstances. It is intendedthat all our ApacheCon events are covered, so it may be prudent for those inEurope and or Asia to wait until an event closer to them comes up - you areall welcome to apply for ApacheCon US of course, but there must becompelling reasons for you to attend an event further away that your homelocation for your application to be considered above those closer to theevent location. More information can be found on the main Apache website athttp://www.apache.org/travel/index.html - where you will also find a link tothe application form and details for submitting. Time is very tight for this event, so applications are open now and will endon the 2nd October 2008 - to give enough time for travel arrangements to bemade. Good luck to all those that will apply. Regards, The Travel Assistance Committee
